Why do LLM apps break in production — and how can you stop them before users notice?
In this episode, Nir Gazit (co-founder of Traceloop, ex-Google/Fiverr, YC W23) breaks down how his team is solving AI’s biggest failure mode: observability. You’ll hear how Traceloop became the go-to black box recorder for LLMs, powering companies like Cisco, IBM, Miro, and more.
We cover:
- Real-world LLM horror stories
- How OpenLLMetry hit 2M+ downloads
- Miro’s strategy for safely deploying GPT-4.1
- What AI teams can learn from traditional dev observability
- The roadmap to self-improving agents
If you're building with LLMs or planning a GenAI rollout, this is essential listening.
